Li Min was afraid that the church would be too powerful and would affect Constans II, so he banned Huaxia City from holding students in Eastern Rome.
In fact, why was Constans II not afraid that Li Min would reject his request?
Constans II has realized the power and greatness of Huaxia City's technology from the movie and the content of the movie.
If these technologies could be introduced into the Eastern Roman Empire, it would be a huge boost for the Eastern Roman Empire.
Therefore, Constans II was very eager to learn the advanced scientific and technological knowledge of Huaxia City.
Under the anxious gaze of Constans II, Li Min reluctantly agreed after a long while.
But in the end, Li Min put forward several conditions.
Seeing that Li Min finally agreed, Constans II couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Constans II readily agreed to Li Min's several conditions without much thought.
Compared with advanced scientific knowledge, everything else is just dregs.
As a result, both parties were happy and reached a consensus on opening a school in East Rome.
At this time, the group of students trained by Li Min had almost completed their studies.
If there is too in-depth communication, there will definitely still be difficulties.
But basic communication is no longer a problem.
The preliminary layout in Eastern Rome has basically been completed.
Everything has been laid out.
There is no need for Li Min to preside over the rest.
From the current point of view, Huaxia City is definitely losing money in the layout of Eastern Rome.
Because the upfront investment is really too big.
However, no cash was collected for the grain and weapons sold to the Eastern Roman Empire.
Although now, the specialties of Eastern Rome have been gradually transported to Datang and Huaxia City for sale.
Even Huaxia City's major concessions in East Rome have begun to make profits.
But overall, the losses are still serious.
However, it has now begun to stop losses and turn profits.
From now on, profits will increase every year.
It won't take a few years to get back to where we were before.
Of course, what Li Min values more is actually cultural invasion.
By the time the citizens of Eastern Rome were familiar with and recognized the Chinese culture.
No matter how the Eastern Rome is laid out in the future, it will be much easier.
Currently, Huaxia City has opened more factories in East Rome.
Now, preliminary products such as tires, carts, and even bicycles have officially entered East Rome.
Of course, there are many products here that have long been eliminated in the Tang Dynasty or in Huaxia City.
Now in Eastern Rome, there is a second spring again.
The establishment of these factories requires a large number of workers.
And within the concession, everyone has shares in the chamber of commerce.
These shares were originally supposed to pay dividends at the end of the year.
However, in order to improve the quality of life of the people in the concession, Li Min changed it to one dividend per quarter.
As the product continues to be popular, their dividends have become higher and higher.
In fact, it has exceeded their wages.
This has also led to the fact that the people in the concession and ordinary coolies are no longer willing to do it.
Unless there is some decent, light job, I will choose it.
This has also led to the fact that the recruitment quotas for factories above the mines are no longer limited to the concessions.
Now the recruitment quota has spread outside the concession.
Now more and more citizens of the Eastern Roman Empire are working in the factories opened in Huaxia City.
As long as these workers learn some simple Chinese and can have a simple conversation with the leaders of Huaxia City, they will be able to get opportunities for salary increases and promotions.
Therefore, throughout Eastern Rome, more and more people began to learn Chinese.
Even these workers are not the only ones who need to learn Chinese.
Businessmen who want to make money also need to learn Chinese.
What’s more, China City now plays movies every half month.
The themes broadcast are becoming more and more extensive.
But everything remains true to its origin, either Eastern mythology, Eastern urban themes, or war.
But every movie promotes Eastern culture.
These movies are really great.
Movies have become a popular entertainment program for the masses.
However, if you want to understand these movies, you must at least understand Chinese.
Otherwise, you can only guess and guess, which is very laborious.
Therefore, now almost all the people are learning Chinese consciously or unconsciously.
Regardless of intentional study, you can learn the pronunciation of some Chinese words just by watching movies.
And the myths and stories of the East are now gradually becoming more and more popular.
Now, almost the entire people of the Eastern Roman Empire are already familiar with the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Lord, and Sun Wukong.
There are other myths and stories such as Nezhao Haohai, Kuafu chasing the sun, Houyi shooting the sun, etc.
Although their faith is still God.
But in their hearts, they unconsciously recognized the existence of these Eastern mythological characters.
They feel that these mythical characters are actually divided into regions.
One person is in charge of the other.
Moreover, they always feel that the mythical characters from the East seem to be more powerful.
The images are also more plump, and seem to be more flesh and blood than their mythical characters.
Well, okay, this is probably caused by the idea that foreign monks can chant sutras.
In fact, the myths and stories of both the East and the West are very exciting.
Of course, there are differences between the two.
Eastern mythical characters often have elevated personalities.
They are cold-blooded and merciless.
As for Western mythological characters, if we say they are myths, they are often just human words.
For example, in their mythology, some gods can also have affairs.
Then she was caught by her husband, trapped in a fishing net, and paraded around the streets.
This kind of thing never happens in Eastern mythology.
Western mythological stories and mythical characters appear more down-to-earth.
However, now in Eastern Rome, although there are mythical stories, no one specializes in interpreting them, let alone making them into movies.
Therefore, they failed in processing traditional culture.
Then naturally, it was invaded by Han culture.
In a few years, Chinese literature society became more and more popular in Eastern Rome.
By then, there will inevitably be a fusion of Eastern and Western cultures.
Li Min had already seen this.
And the things that Constans II and his ministers saw were different from what Li Min saw.
Before the people from Huaxia City came to invest, many people in their Eastern Rome had little food to eat, no clothing to cover their bodies, and lived in extreme poverty.
And now?
The lives of the people around the concession are getting better one by one.
And when people from Huaxia City come to invest, a concession can radiate over a large area.
In the past, people always had a lot of complaints because they lived in poverty.
However, these complaints are gradually decreasing now.
The tax revenue of Eastern Rome also increased.
The food problem has been alleviated.
Because they had sharper weapons, they gradually stopped retreating on the battlefield against the Arab Empire.
In addition, the Arab Empire seems to be in civil strife now.
Their army's attack was blocked again and they have temporarily withdrawn.
This just gave them a great opportunity to develop the Eastern Roman Empire.
As long as they are given ten years, they will have the confidence to develop into an empire more powerful than the Arab Empire.
What they saw was the tremendous wealth and vitality that Huaxia City brought to Eastern Rome.
With the investment from Huaxia City, the entire crisis in Eastern Rome seems to have been revitalized.
As for cultural invasion?
Well, in this era, there is no such concept at all.
People in this era have no such awareness at all.
Perhaps, they can more or less vaguely think of some bad things.
However, won’t there be times in later generations when development is promoted at the expense of the environment?
Only when development has taken place will we increase environmental management.
For Constans II, this small problem was not a problem at all.
Accelerating the development of the Eastern Roman Empire is the last word.
Therefore, in his eyes, what Huaxia City brought to Eastern Rome was all positive energy.
Things here were on track, and Li Min decided to go back to Huaxia City.
This time when I came to East Rome, nearly a year passed in a flash.
Li Min had to sigh, he really had a life of hard work.
And this time when he went back, Li Min was planning to bring a group of workers from the Eastern Roman Empire back with him.
These workers are all selected from a variety of workers and are the best-performing workers.
They can get opportunities to go abroad.
While they were abroad, their wages were based on the wages in Huaxia City.
I heard that the wages over there in Huaxia City are five times that here!
Moreover, the wages here are still paid!
In total, this is a wage gap of six times!
Moreover, if your performance is even better, you may even be eligible to settle in Huaxia City.
This selected group of people are envied, jealous, and hated by countless workers.
But I heard that there is such an opportunity every year.
The remaining workers were all holding back their energy.
They vowed to wait until next year to seize this opportunity.
Anyone who lives in later generations will basically know this mechanism.
This was the favorite method used by foreign-funded enterprises investing in China at one time.
It's just that here, it was copied by Li Min.
And the effect of this method is really very good.
The vast majority of workers strive to make progress, perform hard, and strive to be selected.
Because such an opportunity is not just once, but happens every year.
Those who are selected will not be selected again for three years after they come back to work in China City for one year.
Opportunities come every year, whether you can seize them or not depends on your own performance.
And a group of nobles selected by Constans II to study abroad in Huaxia City were also selected.
Among this group of people, Princess Anna stands out.
Among the nobles selected by Constans II, there was naturally no Princess Anna.
All of this was requested by Princess Anna herself.
After watching the movie about Huaxia City, Princess Anna decided to go to Huaxia City to learn their technology and seek an answer from the bottom of her heart.
However, all this seems to have been misunderstood by Constans II, his father.
Constans II had already received the news.
I heard that Princess Anna is very close to Li Min, the lord of Huaxia City, her teacher.
He would often ask him various questions, and Li Min would always tell him everything he knew.
This time Li Min was leaving, and Princess Anna took the initiative to apply to go to Huaxia City for further study.
In the opinion of Constans II, there must be some connection between them.
Constans II was actually happy to see this kind of thing.
If two people really achieve good things, it will only be good for Eastern Rome and not harmful.
Therefore, when Princess Anna proposed her plan to study abroad, Constans II immediately agreed.
This really surprised Princess Anna.
I originally thought it would take a lot of effort.
I really didn't expect that my father would be so easy to talk to.
…
Soon, Li Min set off with his fleet and returned to Huaxia City.
After several days of running around, I finally returned to Huaxia City.
When he got off the boat and set foot on this land, Li Min suddenly felt like he was home.
Unknowingly, Li Min had regarded Huaxia City as his second hometown.
As for the selected Eastern Roman workers and the overseas students sent here, when they set foot on this land, their eyes could not hide the light of excitement.
They finally arrived at this mysterious land.
When they arrived outside Huaxia City by car, they received a grand welcome.
Well, of course, this welcome is not for them, but for Li Min, the lord of Huaxia City.
After entering the city, when they saw Huaxia City with their own eyes, it was more intuitive and shocking than what they saw in the movie.
To settle these people, Li Min's intervention is naturally not needed.
After Li Min came back, senior officials from Huaxia City came to report to Li Min.
After listening to everyone's work reports, Li Min felt a little tired, but he was very excited.
The development of Huaxia City is just that, it is still developing step by step.
The entire internal atmosphere includes competition and cooperation, but it is still very harmonious.
In fact, Li Min knew all the bigger things in East Rome.
Xu Hui continuously reported every move of Huaxia City, Datang, and even the surrounding countries.
Whenever there are important events, they will be passed on to Li Min for viewing.
This is also the reason why Li Min dared to stay in East Rome for nearly a year.
If it weren't for knowing that everything was under control, would he be so relieved and leave for such a long time?
What surprised Li Min was that in this year, there was an explosion of scientific research.
Overcoming many difficulties, these difficulties, Li Min originally expected, would trap them for several years.
Unexpectedly, they managed to conquer it in just one year.
This was quite unexpected for Li Min.
Not long after Li Min came back, even after taking a shower, before he could go home, he was invited over by Di Renjie, the director of the scientific research department.
Di Renjie asked for help from Hunan. Needless to say, it was natural that he had made some breakthrough. He was asking for credit.
This time it was interesting.
In the past, it was Di Renjie who came to him with products to show off.
This time it was good, I actually invited Li Min's relatives to watch.
Could it be that the product produced this time is so huge that it is difficult to carry it out?
Otherwise, based on Li Min's understanding of Di Renjie, this guy would definitely hold the product and show it off to him.
However, Li Min also wanted to see what they had researched.
It actually made Di Renjie so excited and impatient to see it for himself.
Not long after, Li Min arrived at the scientific research department.
Di Renjie came out to greet him excitedly.
Well, Di Renjie was the only one who came to greet him. He didn't bring anyone else with him.
And Li Min didn't take it to heart at all.
If it were any other department, this would definitely be an impossible scenario.
The city lord is here, no matter how unlucky he is, he should lead a few people out to express his welcome, right?
But in the scientific research department, there is no such thing.
All those selected by Di Renjie to join the scientific research department are all scientific research madmen, and they don't care about these superficial things.
Li Min, on the other hand, fully understood this and would not blame them at all.
"Master, long time no see. Master is still as young as ever. Apprentice pays his respects to master."
This time, after meeting Li Min, Di Renjie did not show off his scientific research results immediately. Instead, he greeted Li Min first, which was beyond Li Min's expectations.
Li Min couldn't help but laugh, and then said: "Okay, let's stop talking about these false greetings. If you have any new research results, please tell me."
Hearing Li Min's words, Di Renjie couldn't help but said aggrievedly: "Master, how can you say that the apprentice's greetings are false? They are obviously perfunctory - ah! They are obviously sincere."
"By the way, master, come with me and come and see our latest research results."
Li Min laughed, then followed Di Renjie into the laboratory.
Soon, Li Min saw their latest research results.
After seeing the latest research results, Li Min couldn't help but reveal a look of enlightenment on his face.
No wonder they have developed so many scientific research results in the past year. It turns out that they have developed this!
The latest scientific research result developed by Di Renjie and others is a computer.
Although the computer they developed was really ugly, it took Li Min a long time to identify it.
The reason is that this computer is just a piece of cake.
There isn't even a host, and the keyboard is very unique, with characters not placed together.
It's really not easy to identify them.
It turned out that Li Min only introduced the theory of computers to them at that time, and also taught Di Renjie a book on computer principles.
But Li Min didn’t say much about the main casing, keyboard and other items.
And they, without any experience, acted like this.
Then, when Li Min told these details, Di Renjie immediately showed a look of enlightenment and enlightenment.
I quickly recorded all these details.
In fact, he himself found it very inconvenient to use it, but for a moment, he couldn't think of anything inconvenient about it.
After recording, Li Min asked Di Renjie to turn on the computer and prepare to test the running speed of the computer.
After thinking about it, Li Min directly told Di Renjie a calculation with a large number but not a complicated process.
After hearing Li Min's order, Di Renjie immediately turned on his phone.
After the machine started up, Li Min saw piles of 0 and 1 codes on the screen.
Next, Di Renjie continued to input various 0s and 1s, and it took ten minutes to complete the input.
Then press Enter, and after a while, a bunch of codes appeared.
Di Renjie calculated for a while, and then revealed the final result to Li Min.
Li Min had already calculated the correct answer through the system.
The answer is right, but the process is too complicated, right?
Li Min couldn't help but asked speechlessly: "Your result is correct, but your speed is really too slow, isn't it? If you had this skill, you would have typed it out a hundred times with the abacus."
After hearing Li Min's words, Di Renjie was not annoyed, but chuckled and said, "Master, wherever we use computers, there are very big numbers."
"Which numbers can't be typed out with an abacus? It's fastest to use a computer."
Hearing this, Li Min couldn't help but be speechless.
Li Min finally understood that they were still using machine language.
Machine language is a code of groups of zeros and ones.
These commands can be executed directly by the computer without translation.
But it's really too troublesome here.
The amount of input is simply too large.
This efficiency is simply too low to be seen.
Yes, Li Min decided to help them directly.
Computers are a very important tool in the scientific research process.
With computers, the scientific research process will be greatly accelerated.
As for the evolution of computer languages, if there is no one to guide them and they are allowed to explore, it may take several years or even more than ten years or more to discover it.
And Li Min, how could he wait for such a long time?
At that moment, Li Min directly asked Di Renjie for their machine language instruction code.
It must be based on this foundation before it can be further refined into a higher-level language.
Li Min took the instruction code book and left without saying a word.
This made Di Renjie a little confused.
Did they obviously develop computers?
Why does the master have such an expression?
Also, why does the master want to take away their machine language instruction code book?
Could there be any mistakes there?
It's impossible.
If there were errors, wouldn't they have already gone wrong during execution?
But in fact, they didn't make any mistakes.
When Li Min returned home, holding the code book, he also had a headache.
Originally, Li Min was planning to directly ask the system to help compile the code.
But the result obtained was actually not good.
The system will only give him the source code of all languages, but it will not help him with coding.
